The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 183 Jessica Helps

"Why aren't you eating?" Michael mumbled through a mouthful of bread, glancing at Emily who was just sitting there, not even touching her fork.

"I'm not hungry," Emily shrugged, clearly lying.

"But you made so much food," Michael pointed out.

He was just making an observation, but Emily, feeling extra sensitive, took it the wrong way. "I'll pay you back for all this," she snapped.

Michael looked puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"The food," Emily clarified.

"Emily, are you out of your mind?" Michael asked, bewildered.

"Yeah, I'm really messed up right now. The rumors are cleared, the stock's bouncing back, and now you think I'm a burden? Fine, I'll move out," Emily shot back, standing up to leave. Michael quickly got up and blocked her path. "When did I ever say that? Emily, stop with the moving out talk. I've been swamped and exhausted, I can't keep comforting you."

His words were straightforward and sincere. He looked at Emily, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over him.

Emily felt it too, so she stopped arguing and just watched Michael sit back down.
